Peeps: Scourge on mankind or delectable delight?

[prolesunited]

You decide.

Please post your ruling below.

[Deja Q]

1. Scourge. Witness:

Peeps

[no name no slogan]

7. ...

:rofl: That is TOO FREAKING FUNNY!!!!

[blue neen]

2. Ruling:

Delectable delight. Especially heated up in the microwave. Yummy. :9

[Darth_Kitten]

3. Neither : Bodhisattva or Coloured Marshmallow?

:D

[amitten]

4. Both.

:cry:

Somebody make me stop!

[prolesunited]

12. You've actually been eating them?!?!?

Uh-oh

[amitten]

14. .

:cry:

[Ikonoklast]

5. It is a little known fact that all Peeps

were made in Bulgaria between the years 1954-59 by the billions and exported. They were part of a Khrushchev 5 year plan to get rid of radioactive waste and heavy metal sludge from the Soviet thermonuclear weapons buildup.

There has been no need for a production run since, as all unsold Peeps are returned to the warehouse and re-packaged with a new sell-by date for the following year.

Oh, and they are not dyed yellow. That is zinc chromate, and it keeps them from oxidizing when exposed to atmosphere. Or reacting with anything corrosive, for that matter.


Poisonous, but anyone that eats the damn things has a death wish anyway.

6. Let them get stale and chewy... and they are a delight

Fresh ones suck. They need to be aged, like a fine wine...

[amitten]

8. I want to toast them.

Can I toast them?

[LostinVA]

9. OOOOH! OMG... I never thought of that!

Of course you can! Let me know how it goes. Try the bunnies... I like the bunnies better.

You could make PEEPS S'MORES!!!!!

[no name no slogan]

10. You can make s'mores out of them

have a look for yourself:

[Duer 157099]

34. You are so right. They have to be stale to be good

Fresh ones are just icky

[LostinVA]

49. I've discovered over the years that many people agree with us

"We will eat no Peeps before their time."

[Neshanic]

11. Peep cappucino. I love sweets but man, sugar overload.

Love the site.

[swag]

13. I'm not a Christian, so I don't know for Peeps.

[amitten]

16. Peeps will turn you righteous.

Eat the Peeps. Eat them.

[Neshanic]

20. Baby Jesus crys everytime a peeps is eaten incorrectly.

[Deja Q]

24. Like I recently postulated, Jesus' animal shelter is

chock full of dead kittens...

:yoiks:

[prolesunited]

26. And, what, praytell,

is the Jesus-approved way to eat a peeps?

[nickgutierrez]

15. You're supposed to eat those things?

:o

[Deja Q]

17. Yes. You'd be amazed at what I put into my mouth...

:yoiks:

[amitten]

18. Not really. n/t

[prolesunited]

19. Don't smut this up

;-)

[Deja Q]

23. Who said I was?

For example, look at my peeps site above. Check out the Smores section. Given what I substitute for graham crackers and chocolate bars... :9

[nickgutierrez]

21. No, I wouldn't.

:evilgrin:

[Kat45]

22. Very delectable.

Love them peeps. :9

[amitten]

25. Oh my God, your little bird looks like a green Peep!

:9

















:cry: help

[Kat45]

27. Perish the thought!

[catzies]

28. I must have eaten my weight in them by now so help me God.

I've cut back A LOT, but I never go Peep-less. And this from someone who'd buy them buy the dozens at half price the day after Easter. :D

[amitten]

30. Maybe they are...good for us?

:shrug:

That's it. They're good for us!

[XemaSab]

29. Gross

[LeftyMom]

31. mmmmmmmmmmm gelatin

:puke:

[amitten]

33. Marshmallow is not gelatin alone. I don't like gelatin.

But Peeps are alive with delicious marshmallowy goodness.

[LeftyMom]

35. Gelatin is disgusting

I won't eat anything with it in it and wouldn't do so even as an omnivore.


There are marshmallows without gelatin for when I get a craving.

[amitten]

38. But are they Peeps? For only Peeps will do.

:loveya:

[LeftyMom]

39. Nah, but I'm not really into food color and sugar anyhow

I make some badass rice cereal treats with them though, and they're great in hot cocoa.

[Zookeeper]

36. Yeah, I try to avoid mad-cow gelatin...

but, I can't resist Peeps. I buy the chicks in the spring, the ghosts at Halloween, x-mas Peeps.

So, where are the summer-themed Peeps? How about Peep bees, wasps and worms?

[amitten]

41. Have you ever been on the Peep bus?

I saw it here in Austin. It's Peep-painted and you can sit inside and learn about Peeps and eat a Peep.

[Zookeeper]

42. Well, heck!

I have an niece-in-law in Austin, so I have a place to stay when I check out that Peep bus!:toast:

[amitten]

50. Come to Austin for the Peeps.

Stay in Austin for...everything else!

(You'd like it here.)

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

32. Delectable scourge?

[Whoa_Nelly]

37. Just seeing them peering out so innocently

from their plastic wrapped boxes...

Gives me the willies and turns my stomach...

Have a deep-seated psychological fear of Peeps :scared:

[amitten]

40. Peeps are watching you.

Make no mistake about it.

[prolesunited]

44. Even scarier still is that the peeps are watching us watching them

[Whoa_Nelly]

46. No....no...NOOOOOOO!!!!!

[pinniped]

43. Peeps will be the only things left when the apocalypse arrives.

Peeps are indestructable.

[prolesunited]

45. And Twinkies

You can't underestimate their power.

[TreasonousBastard]

47. Peep fondue...

either cheese or chocolate will do. Try melted Reese's cups. Or Velveeta.

And don't forget to make popcorn balls with the melted peeps from the microwave. Stir in the contents of a package of pineapple Jell-o for a real treat.

[madrchsod]

48. i must buy some today

[Shell Beau]

51. yummy!

[tigereye]

52. no

my neighbors always give my son some for Easter and then they sit around, since he only likes chocolate. Then I feel guilty since I don't eat them, either. I should give them to my dad who will eat stale candy in pretty much any form. :scared:

[prolesunited]

53. They should make chocolate peeps

Problem solved

[AllegroRondo]

54. Microwave them!

they get HUGE! and gooey!
